The FUV Flux Irradiating the Surfaces of Protostellar Disks

This grant was intended for, and has been used for, the support of the specialized CalFUSE data reduction required for these non-standard observations. The goal of the program was to search for FUV continuum radiation from T-Tauri stars, which would have affected the chemistry in the proto-planetary disk. Because of the low flux expected, the standard background subtraction method would not be appropriate. Rather on-chip background determination was expected to be required.
